Ms. Stakes: One of my greatest teachers
Rev. Katie Lee Crane
Today we recognize graduating high school seniors with a special Bridging Ceremony and our minister, the Rev. Katie Lee Crane, gives another in her series of occasional “graduation speeches I wish I’d had.” This time she promises to talk about one of her greatest teachers: Ms. Stakes. The graduates will be invited to take the Sacred Walk of Honor, passing through a bridge created as congregants of every age whose lives have touched and been touched by the graduates themselves.
There will be no Hearthside Chat today so that members & friends may attend the Annual Congregational Meeting.

Celebration Sunday: An Intergenerational Service
Rev. Katie Lee Crane & Ms. Tracy Duncan
Bring a flower (or two or three) to share!There is a Byrd Baylor book in which a young girl tells the reader: “I’m in charge of celebrations.” Today, all of us will be in charge of celebrations. We’ll celebrate important things and exciting ones. We’ll celebrate change and growth and the many ways we live our faith. We’ll even celebrate things that maybe nobody noticed right away. We’ll celebrate what brings us together and what keeps us together. Every year this service concludes with the flower ritual that Norbert Čapek introduced to his congregation in Prague, Czechoslovakia in June 1923. It reminds us of the gifts of community – of its beauty, its diversity, and of things that hold us together and sustain us on the shared journey – the things worth celebrating!
Join us in the Parish Hall as the celebration continues with an Ice Cream Social and a loving send-off to Tracy
